The Game Devs of Color Expo is returning for its 10th year from September 16
to 19. The online conference both celebrates the games industry's developers
of color, and acts as a showcase for new upcoming game through its companion
GDoCExpo Direct showcase.

This year's GDoCExpo Direct kicks off the conference on September 16 at 4PM
ET / 1PM ET on the Game Devs of Color Expo YouTube channel. The direct is
supposed to feature "more than 30 games" and it'll be paired with a Game Devs
of Color Expo Steam Sale with discounts and demos to try for some of the
games featured in the showcase.

Watching the Direct is free, but to view the Expo's developer interviews and
live panels, you'll have to pay for a ticket. A regular ticket costs $50, but
the Game Devs of Color nonprofit organization also offers cheaper ways to
attend for anyone who can't afford the ticket price. This year's conference
includes talks on budgeting, design leadership and "Decolonizing Cozy Games."

Game Devs of Color has been running the Game Devs of Color Expo since 2016,
with the explicit mission of amplifying "the creative power held by people of
color in games." The Expo and Direct attempt to make industry knowledge and
marketing opportunities accessible to creators, but the organization also
helps directly fund game projects through grants. Game Devs of Color says
it'll award $15,000 in "no-strings development grants" to developers at the
Expo this year, and that it's awarded "a total of $405,000" since 2019.
